Fixes this crash:
1. Open an IM window with someone who has just gone online or offline
2. Delete your account from the Accounts window
3. Wait for the 11 second timer to trigger
The conversation code was setting an 11 second timer when a buddy signs
online or offline so that it could stop showing the open door or close
door icon for the buddy, similar to what we do in the buddy list. However,
we didn't keep track of the handle for this timer and didn't clear it if
the account is deleted--thus the crash.
I noticed that we don't currently show the open door or close door icons
in the conversation window. I think it would be good if we did... but
I don't think the gtkconv code should keep track of this information.
gtkblist.c already keeps track of it in gtknode->recent_signonoff_timer.
We should either re-use that, or better yet, we should add "recent signon"
and "recent signoff" states to the status system somehow.
But I don't feel like working on that... it's pretty minor. In any case
I don't think this code is the right way to handle it, so I'm getting
rid of it. Feel free to disapprove this if you disagree! (But also please
fix the crash, maybe just by disabling the timer for now)
I'm also getting rid of the login_list and logout_list lists, since they're
not used.

28192 | 150 Mark: Woo boy it's been a busy two weeks. There was a lot of new code |
151 in 2.6.0, and with new code comes new bugs. The cadre of relentless | |
152 developers responsible for Pidgin have been hard at work, and I believe | |
153 they have fixed all the major bugs that cropped up. My thanks to all | |
154 those names listed as Current Developers in Pidgin's 'About' window. | |
155 | |
28208 | 156 Elliott: Well now, just as Mark said, there was a lot of new stuff that |
157 probably came up with tons of bugs. So I can't say I wrote anything | |
158 super-awesome, but I definitely fixed quite a few of those itty-bitty | |
159 why-didn't-this-work-this-way sort of bugs. | |

169 anything around here! (Just kidding, of course.) LOTS of new features |
27945 | 170 and a crapton of bugfixes this release. There should pretty much be |
171 something for everybody. A great example of this is the ton of Yahoo | |
172 changes that have happened thanks to our SoC student from 2008, Sulabh | |
173 Mahajan. Among his massive improvements are the ability to add MSN | |
174 buddies by adding them as "msn/user@domain.tld" and peer-to-peer file | |
175 transfers. Of course, history shows we can't please everyine, so I'm | |
176 sure I'll see a complaint or five thousand in trac. Enjoy, though! | |

27927 | 178 Marcus: This is my first news! It's been quite a few microreleases this |
179 time, but now we're finally at 2.6.0. I suppose the most anticipated | |
180 new feature in this release is the voice and video support, thanks to | |
181 Mike's heroic work. I've managed to slip in a few features too, like | |
182 in-band bytestream file transfers as a fallback on XMPP and idle time | |

618 starters, we have some new names. That's pretty cool. We have a new | |
619 logo, to go along with it. And a lot of great icons! As Nathan mentions | |

622 completely dark for so long. Anyway, unlike betas1-6, which were of | |
623 normal release quality, this one is actually beta quality. There are | |
624 a few significant known issues, and a lot of changes that need a lot | |
625 of real-world testing. So, if you'd like to help us out, give it a | |

630 last however-many months. I know it looked like development slowed | |
631 to a crawl, but in reality we've been working pretty hard to get | |
632 2.0.0 out the door, without getting into any legal trouble. I | |
633 realize that if we were some big corporation, we'd be getting flamed | |
634 about this secrecy for months. Please try to remember that we're | |
635 just a bunch of geeks who were scared of legal stuff (well, at least | |
636 I was. Scared, that is). The bottom line is that we're out in the | |
637 open again, and fully plan to stay that way. We're also opening up | |
638 the mail archives from the secretive past few months. You can scan | |
16697 | 639 through them if you want, or I can summarize. "Are the lawyers done |
16005 | 640 yet? No. Now? No. How about now? No." All lawyer jokes aside, |
641 I'm grateful to our legal team for crossing all the 't's and dotting | |
642 all the lowercase 'j's to get us the deal we got. Anyways, thanks | |
643 for your patience, and on to 2.0.1! | |
644 | |
16694 | 645 Gary: Well my silence, and our silence has ended. Finally the name |
646 change is over and done with and we can go back to a normal dev | |
647 cycle. Now if I can just get myself back onto a normal dev cycle, | |
648 but that's another story all together. | |

12527 | 730 2.0.0beta1 (12/17/2005): |
12541 | 731 Sean: I think Nathan sums everything up really well below. There's still |
732 a bunch we want to add (and remove) before the official release, but we | |
733 really want to start getting feedback about what's good and what's not. | |
734 So, please, be vocal about this beta! | |
12519 | 735 |
12541 | 736 Nathan: 15 months since we branched oldstatus, and started working on |
737 the behemoth that is 2.0.0. In that time, we've added a couple new | |
738 protocols, we had a few crazy patch writers become developers, and | |
739 had a few more people step up to be crazy patch writers. Sean wrote | |
740 a book, and we arbitrarily decided to make a version 1.0.0, and a | |
741 new versioning scheme. We got new artwork, and added almost 200 lines | |
742 to the ChangeLog. We've watched 2 major GTK+ releases, and added all | |
743 kinds of features using them. OK, I've wasted enough bits here. This | |
744 beta rocks, but it is a beta. Treat it as such, and enjoy! | |

12541 | 753 Tim: Well here it is, the first beta. There's a lot of cool things in |
754 here, but not all of them are finished or debugged. But then that's | |
755 why it's called a beta. Conversations are now contact-aware, and | |
756 there's a new status selector. There's smooth scrolling on incoming | |
757 messages as well. Our Crazy Patch Writers have been doing a good | |
758 job too, it seems like we're never lacking some patches in the | |
759 tracker to review. | |
12514 | 760 |
12541 | 761 Etan: I know I'm not going to be able to think of all the things I should |
762 talk about here so I'll just go with the stuff I remember. Adding buddies | |
763 on ejabberd jabber servers should work more correctly now (it's possible | |
764 adding buddies on other servers is a bit broken currently I'm still | |
765 looking into it). There are still other jabber issues I'm looking into | |
766 with handling of buddies. | |
767 In other topics, I finally brought my Accounts menu into gaim, though the | |
768 current example of it isn't exactly what I had in mind, anyone with any | |
769 suggestions/comments/etc about it please speak up. | |
770 Other than the stuff I'm sure I'm forgetting to mention this beta should | |
771 be awesome as gaim 2.0.0 is going to be awesome. Have fun with it. | |
12514 | 772 |
12541 | 773 Luke: pretty much everything important has been said, so this is going to |
774 be rather repetative. This is a beta folks, so it will have bugs. It | |
775 will crash unexpectedly. Perhaps even frequently. Use it at your peril. | |
776 But do use it (though you might want to back up ~/.gaim first), and let us | |
777 know what needs to be fixed. | |

12541 | 820 Luke: Exciting times this summer as our Summer of Code interns |
821 start their projects. This is mostly a bug fix release, with the | |
822 ICQ file transfer that Mark mentioned and some buddy icon work | |
823 being the only real new code. Hence the extra week delay. A | |
824 big thanks to our translators who keep churning out updates even | |
825 when we give them short notice as well. Enjoy! | |

12541 | 828 Sean: It's been a while since I've done one of these. Welcome to |
829 Gaim 1.3.1, "New Hyde Park." This is, again, another bugfix release | |
830 but it comes with two keen announcements. First, I'd like to welcome | |
831 Christopher O'Brien to the Gaim team. He has integrated his work on | |
832 the Meanwhile project into Gaim, ensuring that Gaim 2.0.0 will include | |
833 Sametime support. Also, we're participating in Google's Summer of | |
834 Code, which you all should check out at | |

12541 | 838 Luke: This release fixes SILC for multiple accounts. HOWEVER, you |
839 may lose your buddy list (for SILC only) upgrading. This is | |
840 rather unavoidable as the previous code did not keep track of | |
841 which account each buddy belonged to. | |

864 features somewhat more than just bug fixes, some improvements | |

988 Stu: I'm new around here. I tried to reduce the number of bugs in the bug | |
989 tracker, but it turns out that the only way to achieve that is to actually | |
990 _fix_ the bugs. So I fixed a couple, and then sneaked some patches out of | |

1010 Congratulations to Tim & Kim on their wedding! | |
1011 | |
1012 Sean: So, if you're playing along at home, you're aware that | |
1013 incrementing the micro version number means that the API has | |
1014 not changed at all. Although that itself is insignificant to | |
1015 most everyone but plugin developers, but users won't find too | |
1016 many significant changes. Consult ChangeLog. We're currently | |
1017 branched for some major changes, so expect a really great 2.0.0 | |
1018 sometime relatively soon. | |
1019 | |
1020 Luke: Nothing much to see here, some bug fixes. Most of the work | |
1021 is going towards the 2.0.0 release. We aren't quite sure when | |
1022 that will be, and will keep the bug fix releases coming untill | |
1023 all is ready. | |
1024 | |
1025 Christian: I would call this a ground-breaking release, but it isn't. | |
1026 It seems like a good one, though. I dunno. I've been too busy at VMware, | |
1027 unfortunately, but have some work that's just waiting to be finished up | |
1028 for Gaim. Gaim 2.0.0 is going to rock. Gaim 3.0.0 will rock more. | |
1029 Do you see a pattern? Thanks go out to Henry Jen for fixing up parts of | |
1030 the gevolution plugin to support multiple addressbooks, and to all our | |
1031 moms, for believing in us. Or something. | |

10034 | 1035 1.0.0 (09/17/2004): |
1036 Nathan: Hah! Bet you weren't expecting this! OK, if you were | |
1037 paying any attention to the flame^H^H^H^H^Hthread on gaim-devel, | |
1038 you might have been expecting this. But here it is, 1.0.0. Our | |
1039 new versioning scheme has slightly more meaning than the older | |
1040 one (expecially for plugin authors), but our 1.0(.0) release is | |
1041 just as meaningless as we could have hoped. Enjoy! | |
1042 | |
1043 Luke: We've changed our pattern for version numbers with this | |
1044 release, we are no longer simply counting versions. This release | |
1045 then marks, not something traditionally "1.0" but the current | |
1046 version of the api. When backwards compatability with that breaks | |
1047 you'll see 2.0, more details in the faq. As a side note, if you | |
1048 are reading this and are good with proxy code or with perl's XS C | |
1049 bindings, please get in touch with me, my contact info is on the | |

9871 | 1061 Quick Robin! To the traverse wall! |

9872 | 1063 Nathan: Well, it looks like we stuck to the schedule again. Had |
1064 we taken our dear sweet time, I might have had a chance to do | |
1065 something cool for this release, but instead I stuck to the minor | |
1066 stuff. <insert empty promises for the cool stuff i'll code for | |
1067 next time here> | |
1068 | |
9873 | 1069 Tim: Lately I've been doing a lot more patch accepting, and a |
1070 lot less actual coding. Unfortunately it has more to do with my | |
1071 laziness than Gaim's progress. Like Nathan, I'm going to blame | |
1072 our on time release schedule. But that didn't stop our Crazy | |
1073 Patch Writers, or cpw's as grim now calls them, from writing | |
1074 some good patches. So, instead of promising to code something | |
1075 cool for next release, I'm going to promise that the cpw's will | |
1076 code cool things for next release, and I might apply some of them. | |
1077 | |
9877 | 1078 Luke: I've been doing what I always do, committing patches, some |
1079 better than others, and bugging other people to code stuff. Oh | |
1080 and closing some bugs. Thanks to Dave West for joining the cpws | |
1081 in helping to handle triage. This is mostly a bug fix release, | |
1082 so PLEASE upgrade to it before submitting new bugs. | |
1083 | |
9880 | 1084 Kevin: Herman's been away, so Daniel Atallah and myself were given |
1085 the task of preparing 0.82's Windows packages. After some feverish | |
1086 plotting, we decided to update GTK and Daniel prepped an update to | |
1087 libpng to address recent security advisories. Besides plotting and | |
1088 a little bit of testing, this NEWS is all I really did. Oh, I also | |
1089 rerefixed the transparency plugin... again! Our beloved Hermanator | |
1090 should be back next time around, for 0.83. | |
1091 | |
9688 | 1092 0.81 (08/05/2004): |
1093 Sean: Three weeks again! Sticking to schedules is awesome! Just | |
1094 like Gaim v0.81. This is what we in the industry call a "bugfix | |
1095 release." We closed over TWO HUNDRED bugs since 0.80. That's | |
1096 awesome. Thanks to everyone who helped report, triage, fix, and | |
1097 test. | |

9690 | 1109 Mark: I was going to point out that we closed an insane amount of |
1110 bugs for this release, but Sean already did that. I feel like | |
1111 we've had some really talented new contributors contributing | |
1112 recently. I won't say names... but watch your backs. Or something. | |
1113 | |
9691 | 1114 Nathan: I did next to nothing for this release. I am however |
1115 settled in to my new job, and in a couple days, I should be settled | |
1116 into my new domicile. If the DSL gods are in a good mood, I'll | |
1117 have a connection there shortly, and can start being useful again. | |
1118 | |
9537 | 1119 0.80 (07/15/2004): |
1120 Sean: Three weeks! Hooray for timeliness! I didn't do much here | |
1121 but drag-and-droppable file transfers. Drag something into a | |
1122 conversation window, and it will be sent. Kinda neat. | |
1123 | |
9540 | 1124 Mark: We have a small ant problem here. I can't help but think |
9541 | 1125 I somehow brought this upon myself. |
9540 | 1126 |
9542 | 1127 Tim: I don't really have any news, but at least I don't have an |
1128 ant problem either. You might think I've been hard at work on | |
1129 Gaim-vv, but I haven't, I've just been lazy. I plan on doing | |
1130 some cool things "soon" though, both with Gaim and Gaim-vv. | |
1131 Bleeter sent me some nice dumps I need to implement yet. | |
1132 | |
9543 | 1133 Luke: We have a nice timely release, with a Changelog that seems |
1134 small, but remember, this is summer, and people have lives. SILC | |
1135 and Zephyr are making good progress from our Crazy Patch Writters, | |
1136 and everyone begging to send files to people not on their buddy | |
1137 list will be happy. good stuff. No, the msn buddy icon scalling | |
1138 problem isn't fixed yet, maybe next release | |
1139 | |
9382 | 1140 0.79 (06/24/2004): |
1141 Sean: We've moved to a three-week release cycle which we'll | |
1142 hopefully be able to keep up more realistically than a two-week | |
1143 cycle. Yahoo! went and broke last night, but it's fixed now thanks | |
1144 to a quick fix sent in by Cerulean Studios this morning. Reports say | |
1145 they'll continue to try to break us, though, so don't be surprised | |
1146 if your Yahoo cuts out again. | |
9543 | 1147 |
9384 | 1148 Luke: I was really distracted this cycle, I want to thank my co- |
9387 | 1149 developers and our crazy patch writers for keeping things going. |
9384 | 1150 We have a fairly long changelog for you this release, including some |
1151 nice bug fixes and some much-requested new features, the ChangeLog | |
1152 has all the details there of course. Enjoy! | |

9385 | 1158 Tim: This release brings us /commands in the core, which hopefully |
1159 works better, and Yahoo! buddy icons. Thanks to all the people I | |
1160 bugged for packet captures, like Simguy, Bleeter, and odl. Yahoo! | |
1161 broke again, so I did a little last minute work on the web | |
1162 messenger stuff, but then Cerulean Studios was cool and fixed the | |
1163 problem already, so all that code's disabled. I also finally added | |
1164 the Yahoo! Japan support, for those of you with Yahoo! Japan | |
1165 accounts. | |
9386 | 1166 |
1167 Mark: I fixed that icon animation thing that caused Gaim to lock-up. | |
1168 I also stepped on something at the beach and I think there might be | |
1169 a little rock or something in my foot now. | |
1170 | |

1172 I didn't think I had done anything, but apparently I fixed some | |
1173 Jabber stuff, and some IPv6 stuff. I must have been sleepcoding | |
1174 or something, because I haven't had time for such things. Ah well, | |
1175 enjoy this release. We'll see what I can get to in the next 3 weeks. | |
1176 | |
9124 | 1177 0.78 (05/30/2004): |
9102 | 1178 Luke: A very long time, once again, since the last release. I think |
1179 its mostly worth it. A few of you will still have trouble with msn | |
1180 but we've worked out a number of bugs even there. Thanks to heroic | |
1181 efforts on the part of Mark, we closed 400 some odd reports this | |
1182 month. We are also welcoming Tim to the project, a very active | |
1183 crazy patch writer who has brought massive improvements to WYSIWYG | |
1184 and direct im this release. Again, it still won't work for every | |
1185 one, but it will work for more people than it used to. Most | |
1186 noticably, this release brings a LARGE simplicfication of the | |
1187 preferences available. Please don't complain if your favorite | |
1188 preference is no longer there. Take some time to think about | |
1189 how and if it could be useful to a majority of people who use | |
1190 Gaim in ways nothing like you. You'll find that the answer will | |
1191 usually be that the preference isn't all that important. | |
1192 | |
9103 | 1193 Tim: I continued with the other crazy patch writers in fixing those |
1194 WYSIWYG bugs. Then they went and made me a developer. Which is cool. | |
1195 They told me I could commit WYSIWYG and Yahoo! changes. So I went | |
1196 and fixed IM Image and Direct Connect in AIM for some reason. I also | |
9106 | 1197 added some new Yahoo! smileys at least. Also you change your link |
1198 color in your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file now. I might work on some of those | |
1199 new Yahoo! features for next release, like buddy icons. But don't | |
1200 count on it. Thanks to everyone who congratulated me. And thanks | |
1201 to all our Crazy Patch Writers, who now expect me to apply all their | |
1202 Crazy Patches. | |

9106 | 1214 Gary: Congrats to Tim, no more competing for most ChangeLog entries. |
1215 This means you _should_ be winning every release. Anyways, I didn't | |
1216 finish nearly as much as I wanted to for this release but all of that | |
1217 and then some should appear in 0.79. | |
1218 | |
9108 | 1219 Sean: I'll write my entry down here tonight. Removing preferences |
9395 | 1220 was my big crusade this week, and the team did a great job at it, |
1221 but I still have a nagging feeling that our preferences are still | |
1222 overwhelming. Everyone's been doing a real great job; it's entirely | |
1223 my fault we keep failing to meet our three-week schedule. Send your | |
1224 complaints this way. | |
9108 | 1225 |
9114 | 1226 Nathan: I really didn't do much thanks to exams, and graduation, and all |
1227 of that fun stuff. For next release, I'll have all new excuses, like my | |
1228 new job, or maybe something I haven't even thought of yet. Oh yeah, and | |
1229 a big warm welcome to Tim! | |
1230 | |
8762 | 1231 0.77 (04/22/2004): |
1232 Sean: We're back to a somewhat regular release cycle now. Hooray! | |
9395 | 1233 WYSIWYG is much improved in this release, and you can now copy and |
1234 paste rich text to and from Gaim and other applications (see: Mozilla, | |
1235 Evolution OpenOffice). Also, Novell has released their first release | |
1236 of their GroupWise plugin, included in this release. Good stuff all | |
1237 around. | |
8762 | 1238 |
8763 | 1239 Luke: Only a week "late" this time around, much nicer than the delay |
1240 before the last release. Anyway, this release sees a HUGE number of | |
1241 improvements to the WYSIWYG support, much thanks to all involved. If | |
1242 you weren't impressed before, you should be now! This release also | |
1243 sees the end of our TOC support, no one has been working on this in | |
1244 some time and its causing problems. DON'T USE IT!. Also plugin | |
1245 authors will want to take note of the fact that the plugin api version | |
1246 changed. A nice solid release for you all :-) | |
1247 | |
8764 | 1248 Ethan: Once again I thought about doing some things and committed |
1249 things that other people did. This development model is awesome. I | |
1250 helped Mark refactor some stuff and our collective code ownership | |
1251 helped us utilize a coherent system metaphor during our pair program- | |
1252 ming sessions. It was extremely extreme. Look for some hard crypto | |
1253 lovin' from yet another crazy contributor in the near future... | |
1254 | |
8765 | 1255 Ka-Hing: I actually did something for this release... or rather, the |
1256 previous release, but LSchiere2 didn't commit that until this release. | |
1257 So blame him. System logging is back, so you can log people's signon/ | |
1258 off/away/idle-ness again. There may be bugs with it, I don't know, not | |
1259 like I use it. I will try to work on something that I will actually use | |
1260 for the next release. | |
1261 | |
1262 Etan: Looking for someone to pair program with. | |

8548 | 1273 Sean: Yeah, it's been a long time since the last release, and despite |
1274 what others may tell you, we were just really lazy. This is pretty | |
1275 much just 0.75 again, but, like, someone changed the "Info" icon and | |
1276 I think, like, the Chinese translation may have been updated. We did | |
1277 nothing interesting on it at all. Others may tell you "we haven't just | |
1278 been lazy," or "you guys will find that we've managed to do some neat | |
1279 stuf in this one." They lie. All of them. | |
9102 | 1280 |
8540 | 1281 Luke: Okay, normally I wait for Sean to go first, but he said to commit. |
1282 Its been a few months since the last release, but we haven't just been | |
1283 lazy. A very long ChangeLog for you all. Most notably of course is the | |
1284 addition of WYSIWYG input for chats and conversations. Many thanks to | |
1285 DAYS of long work by Sean, Gary Kramlich, Kevin Stange, Tim Ringenbach, | |
9395 | 1286 and Stu Tomlinson for their efforts writting, fixing, and testing |
1287 this. Without the dedicated support of our crazy patch writters, this | |
1288 release would have taken yet longer. Sean also has yahoo working again, | |
1289 with some assistance from our friends over at Trillian, you may all | |
1290 officially rejoice. We also have a large number of bug fixes, closing | |
1291 more than 200 bug reports this month alone. | |

8551 | 1312 Nathan: Rob happens to share a birthday with my sister. So far she's |
1313 been very vague about what she wants. She's not an easy person to shop | |
1314 for. As for things you probably care more about, this release has so | |
1315 much in it that I've forgotten about most of it. The stupidest of the | |
1316 bugs from 0.75 are fixed. Jabber has a first pass at file transfer | |
1317 support (no proxy support yet). SOCKS 5 proxy support may have gotten | |
1318 a little better as a side-effect. Twinkies and penguin points to all | |
1319 of the crazy patch writers, who did more than their fair share this | |
1320 release. | |

8553 | 1322 Ethan: My birthday was yesterday, and not on the same day as Rob |
1323 and Nathan's sister. And I don't mean that Rob and Nathan have the | |
1324 same sister. For this release, I thought about making IRC better, I | |
1325 thought about making Tcl better, and I committed patches from several | |
1326 others who actually did these things. And probably some other | |
1327 things, too. Let's hear it for crazy patch writers, and for the open | |
1328 source philosophy that lets them get so CRAZY. | |
1329 | |
8047 | 1330 0.75 (01/09/2004): |
1331 Rob: Woah, what's this? Me? Making a NEWS post!? Say it ain't so! | |
1332 That's right, kiddos, I'm finally coming out of my reclusiveness. | |
1333 I had a pretty shitty few months, and also just needed a break from | |
1334 things. But, I'm back, and that's good. Right? Yes. And now, | |
1335 a little word from Eric Warmenhoven.. :P | |
1336 | |
8049 | 1337 Eric: Ah, Rob and Eric. Just like the good ol' days. Now, if |
1338 you'll excuse me, I have to go make some commits with Led Zeppelin | |
1339 lyrics as my commit logs. heh. What do you mean, I look a lot | |
1340 like Sean Egan? I'm... oh fine, you got me. It's really just Sean | |
1341 in an Eric Warmenhoven costume. | |
1342 | |
1343 So, Yahoo! works again, and that's good. And 0.76 is going to have | |
1344 something _very_ neat. | |
1345 | |
8050 | 1346 Nathan: You're running out of excuses to not use Jabber. Our chat |
1347 support is now bar-some, quickly approaching bar-none! Everything | |
1348 else in Jabber got neat improvements too. I'll leave it up to you | |
1349 to figure out what they were. | |

8053 | 1361 Luke: Okay, so Sean rocks and got Yahoo working again in 12 minutes. |
1362 Unfortunately, he took out the chat support in doing so. So use | |
1363 conferences for now if you use yahoo. Users begging for file | |
1364 transfer support should thank Tim 'marv' Ringenbach for Yahoo ft, | |
1365 and everyone should be happy to note that 0.75 leaks far less than | |
1366 0.74. Also, a lot of other bug fixes happened that escape my notice | |
1367 right now. | |

7635 | 1406 0.74 (11/25/2003): |
1407 Sean: Christian and Nathan were wrong. | |
1408 | |
1409 Ethan: I don't know how solid or good this release will be, but | |
1410 hopefully it's better than 0.73! Not that 0.73 didn't rock or | |
1411 anything, but for those users bit by its peculiar little bugs | |
1412 it wasn't as nice as this will be. | |
1413 | |
1414 Nathan: Jabber got some good tweaks, and logging doesn't eat | |
1415 memory until the cows come home. Which is good, because they | |
1416 said they'll be out until late. | |
1417 | |
1418 Luke: Always nice when directories get created correctly ;-) | |
1419 | |
7593 | 1420 0.73 (11/21/2003): |
1421 Nathan: This should be a really solid release. I fixed most if not | |
1422 all of the idiotic Jabber bugs from 0.72, and re-enabled the SASL | |
1423 login stuff, now that it is finalized in the XMPP drafts. Oh, and | |
1424 we now have a release notification plugin, so you can find out when | |
1425 the latest and greatest version of Gaim is out without breaking that | |
1426 reload button in your browser. There's other fun new stuff, but I | |
1427 forget what it is. | |

1462 you paranoid people can hide your local username by changing | |
1463 your IRC account settings. I also want to note that we are | |
1464 aware that building Gaim is Harder than it Should Be on | |
1465 Solaris, and I am seeking solutions to some of the issues | |
1466 there. Everyone remember to give some love to the developers | |

7397 | 1469 Nathan: Jabber got a ton better this release, as I fixed most of the |

1483 too many problems. There are a lot of little nice feature additions, |

1485 in a couple of releases, assuming we can get the remaining two or three | |
1486 parts core/UI-split. Oh, and plugin authors are going to hate me again, | |
1487 as a lot of code (specifically, the conversations code and utility | |
1488 functions) changed names. This is a Good Thing (TM), as always, but may | |
1489 require modifications to some plugins. Not all, fortunately, but some | |
1490 :) Many SSL problems were fixed, though we still have some to go. If | |
1491 you don't have SSL, you now need it for MSN. MSN won't even load without | |

7221 | 1505 Nathan: Chocolate women are cool, but I'm a bigger fan of the real kind. |
1506 I re-wrote the Jabber support from scratch, so now there's at least one | |
1507 person who knows what's going on with it. I got lost in the old code, | |
1508 even in the parts I wrote. It now supports the SASL login stuff from | |
1509 the XMPP protocol specs, and will automagically upgrade the conncetion | |
1510 to SSL if it's supported. If anything doesn't work like it did before, | |
1511 it's probably better, and you should be thankful for it. | |
1512 | |
7225 | 1513 Ethan: I'm sure I'll be showered with all kinds of wonderful things, |
1514 but I doubt it's because I did anything. The reason being that I | |
1515 really don't think I did anything. I meant to do some gaim_ | |
1516 prepension and documentation for IRC and Tcl, and handle IRC errors | |
1517 more responsibly, but I've been meaning to do that for months. | |
7226 | 1518 Except the Tcl part, the Tcl plugin hasn't even existed for months. |
7225 | 1519 I figure if I write enough NEWS no one will notice I didn't do |
1520 anything during the release cycle. Oh, I did close some bugs. I | |
1521 didn't fix them, mind you, I just closed them. With abandon. | |

1664 this is Gaim 0.65. Like other Gaim releases, this allows you to | |
1665 converse with people far away over the "Internet." That's about it. | |
1666 It's really not that interesting. In fact, I wouldn't even bother | |
1667 reading the other people's NEWS. It's all boring. There's some | |
1668 crap about forest fires and fangs and claws. It's really boring. | |

6135 | 1676 free, and the code is cleaner than ever, thanks to lots of work by |
6129 | 1677 Christian and Nathan. We had some help from a few civilians |
1678 finding and fixing bugs. Thanks to Megan (Cae), Ka-Hing Cheung | |

6133 | 1705 Luke: Wow! Finally releasing 0.65! Christian, Nathan, and Mark have |
1706 worked really hard for this release, all the credit goes to them. | |
1707 The new preferences are awesome, and there are more bugs fixed for | |
1708 this release than in the last 3 or 4 releases. Your MSN should work | |
1709 reliably again, your preferences saved, your accounts resort, the | |
1710 list goes on and on. A couple preferences, most notably your buddy | |
1711 list sorting preference won't be imported, but almost all of them | |
1712 will be and its probly a good idea for you to take a second look | |
1713 through preferences again anyway, alot of you are starting to | |
1714 forget that things are optional again. :-) | |
1715 | |
6137 | 1716 Nathan: I think I did something for this release a while ago. I've |
1717 got a mailbox full of commit emails, and some have my name on them, | |
1718 so I must have done something, right? Probably some minor jabber stuff, | |
1719 and lots of crazy bugfixes. It was a team effort, I'd like to thank the | |
1720 academy, our producer Rob Flynn, and of course all the fans. You rock. | |

5562 | 1733 Rob: I didn't do anything this release either. We're under a crunch |
1734 week at work. Friday is the end of the crunch. Hooray!! Thanks for | |
1735 all of your hard work, guys :). | |
1736 | |
5555 | 1737 Sean: Unlike every other time we say, "the next release will be loaded |
1738 with cool new features, this time, we really mean it. In fact, they're | |
1739 already in CVS (don't use CVS). The only obvious new feature for 0.64 | |
1740 is buddy list sorting. This has been much requested and can be set in | |
1741 the buddy list preferences. You can sort by name, by status, and even | |
1742 by log file size--putting people you talk to most at the top. Plugins | |
1743 can even easily add their own sorting methods. It's all very cool. I | |
5559 | 1744 want to thank Luke and Ka-Hing for their initial work on it. And yes, |
5555 | 1745 I did make my entire NEWS entry justified on purpose. |

1802 at the ChangeLog to remember what I did. Apparently I made it so you | |
1803 can put chats in your buddy list. And then I tweaked a bunch of stuff | |
1804 and fixed a bunch of crashes. Then exams came, and then I went home | |
1805 for a week and left my laptop's power cable here at school, so I didn't | |

1825 needed at that. Didn't get a chance to write sorting code, work has been | |

9395 | 1831 Nathan: oh dot sixty two. There are a lot of bugs fixed in this |
1832 release, and one major new feature. Our Jabber plugin now supports | |
1833 XHTML-IM. In plain english, this means that you can now format your | |
1834 jabber messages, and other people will see the formatting. GtkIMHTML | |
1835 still needs some work to get it to parse valid XHTML-IM better, but that | |

1844 | |

1884 who helped out; I'm convinced that Gaim 0.60 is the best IM client to | |
1885 date (only to be bested by 0.61). There's WAY too much stuff to mention. | |

3334 | 1912 SORRY FOR THE DELAY. :( |
1913 | |
3335 | 1914 Sean: It's been a long time since our last release, and for no |
1915 good reason either. Rob and I just haven't been able to get together | |
1916 to do it. But now we have. Aside from some Jabber changes and some | |
1917 crucial MSN fixes, most of this release's changes are transparent, | |
1918 but none-the-less important. Well get some better changes when my | |
3336 | 1919 computer works again, you have my word* |
1920 | |
1921 *My word is worthless. | |
3335 | 1922 |
3248 | 1923 |
3241 | 1924 0.58 (05/13/2002): |
3242 | 1925 Rob: Yeah, so, my computer has been bad which is why the release |
1926 didn't go out on time. Oh well. I would like to welcome | |
1927 Jim Seymour aboard the development team. He's going to be taking | |
1928 over the work on our Jabber code as well as doing various other | |
1929 nit picking. He likes to pick nits, nats, and umm, knots, I think. | |
3238 | 1930 |
3243 | 1931 Sean: This release has a long ChangeLog. Higlights include an |
1932 important security fix for MSN and a few nice new features. | |
1933 Not *much* cooler than 0.57--but we're making progress ;) | |
1934 | |
3244 | 1935 Jim: Hmmm... Rob said I have to say *something*, so here it is: |
1936 Rob's a mango. | |
1937 | |
3173 | 1938 0.57 (04/25/2002): |
3180 | 1939 Rob: Not too much in this release, as Sean said below. (This is |
1940 what happens when the bottom person goes first.) New translation, | |
1941 a few fixes, secure msn hotmail logins, blah blah blah. As Sean | |
1942 said, the next release will be cooler. If only you could read | |
1943 our minds ;-). | |
1944 | |
3179 | 1945 Sean: Nothing too special here, but a critical Yahoo fix that |
1946 ensures Yahoo! will work when they discontinue the old protocol | |
1947 all the other 3rd party clients are using. Next release will be | |
1948 cooler, I promise. | |
3173 | 1949 |
3144 | 1950 0.56 (04/11/2002): |
1951 Rob: Well, what do you know. I have another headache. I always have | |
1952 these damned headaches. I got pissed off with the way GtkTree looks. | |
1953 I wanted to move to using GtkCTree. I think they're pretty. | |
1954 Unfortunately, GtkCTree sucks. After a little digging through | |
1955 the code, I managed to molest GtkTree into looking like | |
1956 GtkCTree. Thanks to everyone that helped track down that one | |
1957 annoying style problem. | |
1958 | |
1959 Sean: Hello. This is another minor release while Rob and I finish | |
1960 up on some bigger projects. We're reworking a lot of the UI to make | |
1961 it easier to use, nicer looking, and more compatible with gtk2. | |
1962 I've also been trying to bring the Yahoo plugin up to date, so it | |
1963 will work for Indian users and avoid a potential problem in the near | |
1964 future. | |
3114 | 1965 |
3113 | 1966 0.55 (03/29/2002): |
1967 Rob: 0.55 is here. I've been away for a few days on business. Sean | |
1968 has been on Spring Break. Therefore, this release is mostly a patch | |
1969 release. It does fix some bugs and makes a few thing slightly cooler, | |
1970 so it's better in that aspect, I suppose. Enjoy. | |
1971 | |
3110 | 1972 Sean: This is mostly a bugfix release. I'm on Spring Break, not |
1973 doing any coding at all. But lots of people sent in great patches | |
1974 anyway. Thanks guys! | |
3058 | 1975 |
3053 | 1976 0.54 (03/14/2002): |
1977 Rob: Well, here we are. 0.54. We got a lot of fun things in this | |
1978 release. Better working SSI, Image sending, protocol specific | |
1979 smiley faces, and a whole lot of triscuits. *gobble* | |
1980 | |
3054 | 1981 Sean: We fixed a lot of bugs in this one, and probably introduced |
1982 a bunch too. ;) We were both really busy, and did all the coding | |
1983 late at night when we were tired, so if something isn't working, | |
1984 it's probably just tired code. Enjoy the triscuits! | |
2994 | 1985 |
2993 | 1986 0.53 (02/28/2002): |
1987 Rob: Well, we missed yesterday's release. That's Okay, I head a | |
1988 nasty headache. You can all just deal. ;-) | |
1989 | |
1990 | |
1991 Sean: Neat Goodies! Whee!! Oscar got a lot of great additions. | |
1992 It can do Screen Name formatting, it can save and store your buddy | |
1993 list on the server, it can do typing notifications in Direct | |
1994 Connections, and yes, it can receive IM Images! Sending images will | |
1995 be added in the next release. MSN and Yahoo! can do typing | |
1996 notification too. Hooray! | |
1997 | |
2978 | 1998 |
2961 | 1999 0.52 (02/17/2002): |
2965 | 2000 Rob: Well, after a long delay we're finally ready for another release. |
2001 I finally got settled into my new apartment, the new job is going | |
2002 well, and I finally have internet connectivity again. You can expect | |
2003 us to be back on our usually bi-monthly schedule. Enjoy these fixen, | |
2004 as they resolve a few connectivity issues. :-) | |
2005 | |
2006 Sean: It looks like things are back on track now. Eric left which is | |
2007 sad. He's done so much for Gaim, and I know we're all thankful. | |
2008 Thanks Eric! I'll be stepping in and do more development, but I can | |
2009 never replace Eric. This release fixes a long-standing problem in | |
2010 MSN. If you've gotten errors when trying to connect to MSN, you want | |
2011 this release. If you've suddenly found yourself unable to connect to | |
2012 Yahoo!, you want this release too. The "neat goodies" will be in the | |
2013 next release ;) | |
2014 | |
2967 | 2015 Rob: Operation Evil does not exist! ;-) |
2961 | 2016 |
2935 | 2017 |
2933 | 2018 0.51 (01/24/2002): |
2934 | 2019 Rob: Well, here we go. I FINALLY got around to making a release |
2020 after over a month, Sorry for the delay, all. Things got really | |
2021 hectic around the gaim house hold. This release isn't as complete | |
2022 as I had hoped, but I promised to get something out. There's some | |
2023 neat goodies in mind for the next release, right Sean? :-) | |

2133 myself included, due to poor management. I've taken a new | |
2134 job which required moving across the country. I'm finally back | |
2135 online. Once I manage to actually get a desk at home I'll be | |
2136 able to code with out infliciting intense pain upon my lower | |
2137 back and neck. So, basically, we were inactive, but not dead. | |
2138 | |
2139 Also, just to keep you all updated, the AOL battle is still | |
2140 in progress. Our lawyers are still in negotiation with thiers. | |
2141 We'll keep you updated with what happens. | |

2162 the previous release but hey, what can ya say, there were a couple | |
2163 of good fixes in this one. Jabber & IRC can set / view the topics | |
2164 of chat rooms now, napster doesnt crash on bad login names and | |
2165 passwords, and the man page got a big update. | |

1199 | 2371 Rob: Hey guys! Guess what!? Yup, you're correct! It's the pre1 |
2372 release of 0.11.0. We have all sorts of goodies in this release! | |
2373 Check out the ChangeLog file. As always if you find any bugs, | |
2374 please report them on www.sourceforge.net/projects/gaim/ | |
1195 | 2375 |
2376 You may find several small bugs as this is still a prerelease. | |
1192 | 2377 |
1199 | 2378 You may want to note that my IRC plugin does not have full |
2379 functionality as of yet. All of the important / commands will be | |
2380 added before the final release. Also, if someone could send me | |
2381 some good buddylist pixmaps for the irc plugin then I'd much | |
2382 appreciate it. Thanks to everyone who made this new release possible! | |
1194 | 2383 |
1195 | 2384 If you have any ideas, comments, or suggestions, please let us know |
1199 | 2385 either by e-mail or via the source forge message board at the URL |
2386 above. :) | |

1195 | 2389 Eric: So what was Yay! For Gaim!? Yay was the codename for the |
2390 Yahoo plugin. The whole point of all of these changes was I wanted to | |
2391 make a proof-of-concept plugin that would let Gaim sign into Yahoo. It | |
2392 turned out to be pretty much impossible with the old code. So, | |
2393 Rob and I hacked gaim so we could do just that. There's now a whole new | |
2394 class of plugins, Protocol Plugins, that let users dynamically add new | |
2395 protocols to Gaim. Just load the plugin, and create a new account that | |
2396 uses that protocol, and you're set! Yay! (Oscar and TOC are both still | |
2397 static. Gaim is, after all, primarily an AIM client.) | |

2508 insane. Ya know, I'm not too happy with the Gaim UI. I dont know |
320 | 2509 how the rest of you feel but it's time for a nice overhaul. In the |
2510 next few days I'll be sitting down with some of my friends and coming | |
2511 up with an improved interface. I hope you all enjoy it. It'll | |
2512 include better looking dialogs, icons, sounds (hopefully lol), etc. | |

219 | 2567 Hey boy's and girls. There's not much to say here this time. |
2568 We're loving Southern California, the new job's going great. We just | |
2569 got our company website up and the product development is going pretty | |
2570 smooth. Life's pretty sweet now. | |
2571 | |
2572 We've hacked up all kinds of goodies for you in 0.9.15. There's | |
2573 some file transfer (receive) support for those of you who have been | |
2574 wanting it for a while. There's some other misc. goodies tossed in as | |
2575 well. Enjoy!! Oh yeah, we need a new website. Come up with a sweet | |
2576 design and get in touch with me. The current site is at: | |

104 | 2583 Well, there's a few random hacks and fixes in here, along with |

2585 hacking! | |

56 | 2587 0.9.13: |
69 | 2588 Not much to say for this release. Bug fixes, That's all. Look |
2589 for the goodies I promised in 0.9.13 to appear in 0.9.14 which should be | |
2590 released very soon now. | |
56 | 2591 |
71 | 2592 By the way, our CVS is now hosted over at source forge. Go check |
2593 it out at http://www.sourceforge.net. Please check there before submitting | |
2594 any bug reports (You can read our CVS comments to see if we have fixed any | |

7 | 2597 0.9.12: |
25 | 2598 Well guys, looks like we got some nifty things in this version. |
2599 TrueType Fonts are supported for those XFSTT buffs out there (or whatever | |
2600 else you use). A crap load of those plaguing memory leaks have FINALLY been | |
2601 fixed. My brother, Jeramey, and a new friend Peter Teichan helped stomp | |
2602 those babies out. A rad guy by the name of Eric Warmenhoven has been | |
2603 really sweet lately and has all but rewritten the Gnome Applet support :). | |
2604 He submitted patch after patch. I finally got annoyed with him (just kidding bud) | |
2605 and gave him CVS access. Look for Gnome Applet support in Gaim to start improving. | |
2606 That's about all for now. I wanted to get this release out there. File Receive | |
2607 support will be in 0.9.13 which is due out soon. | |

2612 a new configuration format for Gaim. Looks like we're running .gaimrc |

2620 Well guys, it looks like we all stopped working on gaim, moved to California, | |
2621 and took up a new job. Don't worry though, those beach bums out here havent | |
2622 worn off on us yet. I've decided to pick up the Gaim torch myself and continue | |
2623 development ont he prohect. Hopefully we wont have any more five month braks in | |

2634 problems with Gaim working properly, please check out the FAQ file. It |
0 | 2635 contains a nice fix submitted by one of our users. I hope this works for |
2636 you guys! | |
2637 Jim appears to have intoxicated himself. This is, as always, a | |
2638 Good Thing (tm). His late-night adventure with the liquid-bread food group | |
2639 lead to the birth of a nice little feature called `The Lag-O-Meter'. Dont | |
2640 ask, just try it out :). It is pretty pointless if you have a super-fast | |
2641 connection but if you are a modem user, like many of us are, then try it out. | |
2642 There's also some idle preferences and some other little random | |
2643 bug fixes. Check'em out yo :) | |
2644 | |
2645 0.9.8: | |
2646 Get Along Lil' Doggies. Heh. Looks like we have yet another new | |
2647 version of gaim for you guys to play with. Be gentle now, it has a few | |
2648 new fetures. The HTML widget is now more robust and we have *da da da* | |
2649 HTTP proxy support. | |
2650 Oh By The Way, Do not pay too much attention to what we are doing | |
2651 with this release. We are all a little bit happy tonight. You must love | |
2652 life. This is a special release of gaim. We will be releasing some wonderful | |
2653 photographs soon .. or perhaps if we get the bloody webcam working then we | |
2654 will take a couple of quick snapshots. | |

2655 Looks like the Gaim developers convention (cool name huh) that we |

2657 by the way. Beware of insecure rednecks in the deli. Bad things. | |
2658 In (non)related news, Jeramey could not successfully slaughter the | |
2659 one pound hamburger that he ordered. (I think he could have done it but he | |
2660 wasn't feeling very well at the time). | |
2661 Oh Yes, New Logo Too :) You likes? Thanks, Naru! | |
2662 Just a little side-note: it looks like we didnt make the release that | |
2663 we had expected during the Gaim Convention. Maybe we partied too much? I am | |
2664 not sure. I remember watching the sun rise before I went to bed, though. | |

2675 other features. It also features preliminary oscar support. Thanks to Jim | |
2676 and Adam ("the libfaim guy") hehe :) We have also corrected a problem with | |
